Portland, Oregon multi-instrumentalist Graham Jonson creates vibrant, unpredictable psych-pop under the name quickly, quickly. Pitchfork spotlighted him with a Rising feature for his “strikingly original” 2021 debut The Long and Short of It, noting the“technicolor world” of his basement studio, Kenton Sound. His forthcoming full-length, I Heard That Noise, channels the intimacy of folksongwriting through adventurous sound design: lush guitars and piano, suddenchord turns, and bursts of distortion that nod to influences like Phil Elverum, Dijon,and Nick Drake. The music moves from gentle ballads to explosive crescendos,always anchored by Jonson’s instinct for melody and atmosphere. On stage, quickly, quickly brings these contrasts to life with a warm, immersive performance—equal parts hi-fi precision and homespun energy—inviting audiencesinto a set that’s ambitious, intimate, and full of surprise.
feels like watching the falling sunset amid an armageddon. FLOOD MAGAZINE
blossomed into a bonafide singer/songwriter/producer creating "hi-fi yet homespun" psych-pop music that's both magnetic and unpredictable. KEXP
Quickly Quickly’s melodies make this a catchy, very listenable record. The oddball sounds and layered arrangements make it a treat to dig into this album repeatedly. POPMATTERS
Marek Johnson is both a wonderful source of sounds and moods, as well as a time traveller and explorer. His creator, David Helm, breathes musical influences like a whale incessantly swallows plankton. Some things he explores consciously (including playing old piano pieces as if he were reading books), others he spits out unconsciously, triggering various pop cultural memories of his fans.
